Timothy had stressed in his message that tonight's guest was important and told her to make sure everything was perfect.

Jessica couldn't help but let out a dry laugh.

Usually, whenever guests came over, he made a point to keep her out of sight.

But this time, he'd sent bodyguards to keep her confined at home and told her to prepare for the guest's arrival herself.

She was done letting him boss her around, done being at his beck and call with no questions asked.

For seven years, he'd refused to acknowledge her in public.

She had only half a year left to live-she didn't need him to suddenly announce her existence to the world now.

After sitting for a while, Jessica decided she couldn't just let the day slip away. She needed to get out, even if just for a little while.

She picked up her phone and sent Timothy a message.

*I have something important to take care of today. I need to leave for a bit.*

His reply came almost immediately.
